NSA Scandal: Anything is Plausible Now

But all Government has to do is invoke “terrorism” and/or “National Security” and anything goes. Then they top it off by declaring that anyone who speaks of it is committing treason.

Congress could stop this any time they want to. But that’s the point, they don’t WANT to stop it, and those members who might be a bit squeamish about it, don’t dare being too public about it, lest it be called supporting terrorism.

Maybe our government would like to put us all on house arrest, while they go door-to-door looking for ties to terrorism (ala Boston).
